Sandy, delete the word pitiful from your vocab...
lol
as we all are, you are struggling to make your world and life style better for you...insomnia, now there is something I know all too well from a very personal experience...
part of me is afraid to sleep because of the risk of seizure...the old 'it won't get me this time' thing...
the other part of me doesn't know how to stop thinking and let the brain use the off switch to allow sleep...
as a result sleep is definitely a rare commodity in this person's lifestyle...
Immovane, I forget the generic term, is not weight related and does let one reach that sleep phase...
I now have to take two at night (10 mg each) to sleep as I have been on it for several years and have adjusted to the lower dose; tried something else but it was the same as drinking a glass of water, and addictive to boot...
one of the meds I had stopped taking cold turkey three years ago and now I forget its name...
suddenly realised that I had this stuff before and didn't want it again and wasn't sleeping anyway..
let's just go back to immovane and the increased dosage...
my doctor, the one who moved, had said I could increase to three a night if necessary -- it was the new one who suggested a change to the tranquilizer and that I do not want in a million years...
immovane works is pharmacy plan friendly and does not add pounds... at this point I would be happy if it did actually...
sigh
